Well my other thread is dead and I would like some opinions on my bumpers so ill start a new thread.
Sorry for the mess, and the poor quality photos.
The green is alot less pukey and dull in person as well.

First ill start with the recent carnage, I twisted the passenger side axle tube out of the housing.you can see in the pic how far it rotated, And when is did, it squashed the drivers side tube.




Onto the bumpers,










Thanks for looking, and please let me know what you guys think and any other ideas.

Thanks, the shops where i work, its adjacent to a fab shop:icon_welder: so my materials and tools are unlimited and i can use what I want when i want to use it, nights or weekends.

heres some better pics that show the metalics in the green a bit better, still not like seeing it in person though.

questions are more than welcome, Just had to grind a notch for the shift rail to go on the zf.

colour is grabber green, 3 coats, followed by 3 coats of metalic clear and then 2 reg clear.

its actually an 80 toyota, the other kid who works here got it for his bush truck and is building it up, helping him learn the trade, when he started he didnt know a thing and now I just sit back and watch him, he struggles, and i let him struggle and let him figure it out for himself. hes doing really good for 15. its got 3 inch suspension, 2 body and 33s with the i4 22r, wants to do a 350 down the road.

the jeep on the hoist is another project, fabtech six inch long arm, ford 9 inch locked, getting the dana 60 front swapped in as well as a 390 horse 350 and turbo 400 and tube dash. oh and 40s:icon_hornsup:

the little suki on the hoist is another customers thats in for more fender trimming and a clutch.

almost forgot the boat thats getting an engine.

I like my job.:icon_welder::headbang:

Yeah I guess I didnt even look at the back window on that yota. Its good to hear your mentoring him. I grew up putzing with stuff on the farm and taught my self alot. My dad uncle and grandpa know a lot but none of them know about 4x4s. I try to help my buddies learn and save money by fixing their own junk. I cant wait till I have a shop like that just to work on projects in. Its a nice dream anyway lol
